I pressed some lupine leaves, which have wonderful dramatic rayed shapes. Then laid them over the cyanotype solution which I painted on these little four-winds folded booklets. The pink borders came from an earlier dip in leftover madder\/cochineal dye. The whole thing was sandwiched between two layers of plexiglass and then clipped together for stability. Left out in sun! It&#8217;s a pretty simple process, so reason why I should experiment with it a lot more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_2882.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_2882.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_2882-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_2882-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_2882-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_2882-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>Cyanotypes in process<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_2883.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_2883.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_2883-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>Resulting prints<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Later update: I totally forgot the step of rinsing out the cyanotype solution afterwards. Unfortunately these prints faded quite dramatically. I&#8217;m not sure if this is because they weren&#8217;t rinsed? Probably. I tried it again and didn&#8217;t get such lovely blotchy results, but remembered to rinse. Actually started to tear the booklets at the fold. I may need to make cyanotypes before folding the pages to avoid this tearing. Continuous improvement. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m working on my repertoire of techniques.
